  • Netherlands appoints first out gay and youngest prime minister

    Jump

  • Yes. Well. Peter Mandelson is gay too.

    And this dude is collaborating with some of the shittiest parties around and wants to cut disability benefit, unemployment benefit, etc.

  • How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?

  • The Netherlands teaches everyone English and it works.

  • Speaking another language is game changing, it doesn't matter which language it is. It'll make it much easier to learn another language, for example, because you'll get a better grasp of grammar. In fact, that grasp of grammar will help you speak your own language better.

    You'll also be more likely to treat people who speak a different language as people rather than things.

  • TIL You can leagally drop your baby off at the fire station in all 50 states

  • What lurking suspicion do you have about something but is hard to prove?

    Jump

  • But it doesn't work with Revanced, which is why they want to ban it.

  • What’s a conspiracy theory you no longer call a theory?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if the fall of the US economy will take down other economies. The other economies will adapt. They're already looking at adapting and working together with other economies.

  • How often are your windows open? What about during Winter? or during Summer? Do you open windows to let in fresh air?

    Jump

  • Sadly my upstairs and downstairs neighbours are chain smokers. They close their windows and the balcony doors and I get all the (pot) smoke. Why does Germany have so many smokers?

  • European jeans and summer pants

    Jump

  • Check what they're made of. They've started adding polyester to jeans. Make sure they're 100 percent cotton.

  • Donald Trump's Parents

    Jump

  • No, cancer.

    And before you feel sorry for him, he was a terrible human being. Trump's mum was alright, actually.

  • Epstein mural in Sydney, Australia

    Jump

  • The Wehrmacht was literally the army. So no, not the FBI.

    The SA was a bunch of complete morons that attacked people and caused riots and got so out of hand that the government couldn't handle them anymore. The Gestapo was smart.

  • hello Fediverse! how do neurodivergent peeps get jobs?

    Jump

  • My brother lost 24 jobs until he found one with a boss who knew how to deal with him. It didn't help that my mother didn't raise him properly "because he was special" and basically the boss had to teach him things like dressing properly, personal hygiene, and not buggering off on vacation without giving notice.

  • TIL that Radon is a radioactive substance which can cause cancer. Colorado is full of radon. The average level of radon in Colorado homes is 6.4 pCi/L, which is equivalent to 200 chest X-rays a year

    Jump

  • Where I lived (in Lancaster, UK) many houses didn't have cellars because of radon. Not that they told you that, I found out accidentally.

  • Why does cats (and similar animals) can live with the exact same food every day, but we (humans) need a variety of food to survive?

    Jump

  • Not when it's the only thing served at restaurants (plus bad frozen schnitzel).

  • Epstein mural in Sydney, Australia

    Jump

  • SA. Sturmabteilung. The FBI is the Gestapo. Get yo historical metaphors right.

  • fun fact but we just trashed the possibility to use @netbird #netbird in some part of our company in addition to our own VPN

    Jump

  • You don't speak proper English is what's the problem.

    Jump

  • I like British food. I live in Germany now and if I see another Maultasche I'm going to scream.

    Jump

  • If the food you're eating doesn't contain all the nutrients you need you're unhealthy as fuck and it will come back to haunt you.

  • Removed

    Maybe liberals just care more about their community?

    Jump

  • No. Stop redefining words, America.
